Ochsner North Shore’s OB/GYN program is designed to treat a wide spectrum of issues impacting a women’s life – from pregnancy and infertility to gynecologic cancers and menopause. With a fully dedicated physician staff, you can be assured that our physicians are where you need us, when you need us.

Ochsner Women's Health Center - Covington is located on Highway 21 near St. Tammany Parish Hospital (and on the same side of the highway as St. Tammany). We offer mammography and ultrasound services at this location, as well as outpatient procedures. 

If your pregnancy is healthy and you are considering scheduling your baby's birth, it is best to stay pregnant for at least 39 weeks. Babies born too early may have more health problems at birth and later in life than babies born full term. Being pregnant at least 39 weeks gives your baby's brain and body all the time they need to grow (Source: March of Dimes Patient Education).
